Good for the NAACP for acting in response to repeat insults by Trump to civil rights. He'd only lie and point out to "my blacks."
NAACP President Derrick Johnson said that Trump is working against its mission. "This has nothing to do with political party," he said.

No, he'll apply extra hairspray to avoid revealing his mutilated scalp.

Honestly, I have greater pride for #Ukraine than Americans at this point in time. I put the Ukrainian flag out every day, but not ours.
My own flag is 35+ years old and I once flew our "Stars and Stripes" proudly.

I have called EVERY SINGLE extension listed by HHS as a point of contact. Not a one answers, most have a generic message indicating the number is not in service. I have politely requested a call back to air concerns about CDC/vaccinations if I'm able to leave a message & never receive a return call.

I want to know why the office telephone numbers shown as HHS contact info are NEVER answered, callers wishing to express their views to Sec Kennedy instead are advised to call (202) 690-7000 only to be informed of office hours, told they will be called back. 3 weeks have passed, no return call...

Just when you think our President can't get any stupider, more determined to not see what Russia is doing to Ukraine... "letting them fight" ???
I'm fine with Trump
Fighting with Elon. We're hearing truths now that the these megalomaniacs are speaking their minds.

Too mild. "Take his phone away" is not a solution. At least with these mind- blowing comments we get a view into his depraved thinking.
Russia continues to escalate its targeting of civilians with deadly bombings and his takeaway is that Russian bombers were innocently "just sitting there"?

How this atrocity of Russian child abduction isn't a daily headline is beyond me.

Mine: know where I want to put that orange? Next is the Secret Service going to pay me a visit?

He has the attention span of a gnat. Was briefed about the matter and forgot the vast majority of what was said.

It goes without saying that Trump will attempt to take credit for the decline in fentanyl deaths. Just as he won't take credit for deaths of the unvaccinated, Vaccines have morphed into being about "freedom."
But we can be assured that Trump himself will benefit from the world's best medical care.

Truly a White Elephant - in exchange for favors from a corrupt man.

PLUS, long range aircraft buyers across the world avoid purchases from this region, because conditions are known to be so harsh that extensive damage occurs as a result of dust, sand and sun. Weather prematurely ages the machinery and paint.

An airplane like this one costs well over $1M per year simply to maintain, keep in operating condition, even if it never leaves storage (which they must in order to sell it).
Once again, Trump knows how to get the best, most beautiful deals!

Russia isn't really negotiating anything. Simply wasting Zelenskyy's time, knowing that HE cannot NOT show up.
This is such an obvious ploy by Putin. Cannot the US see this? Nope, our fearless leader is busy lying about the current price of eggs.

Even the HHS FOIA office number has been disabled "this number cannot be reached as dialed."
This is what autocracy looks like.

After hours of calling, holding, being rerouted, reaching dead ends, I've concluded that HHS cannot be reach by ordinary citizens. They have even removed their website sitemap.
Anyone live person I DID speak with was employed by a third party "customer service" company such as Concur.

Still trying to reach someone, ANYONE, at HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. office. Here's Chief of Staff listing - their extensions all forward to 202-690-7000, which does NOT ANSWER - except for the White House liaison Trent Morse, where I left a message with my phone number.

A truthful page about Flu Vaccines is still available (as of this moment) on the CDC web site: www.cdc.gov/flu/vaccines...

Hilariously, HHS offers a tab on their website labeled "Radical Transparency," and another page links to a profile for Alex Azar, former HHS Secretary who resigned following January 7, 2021

I'm still trying to get through, so called HHS FOIA number listed on hhs.gov/foia/contacts/index.html
Surely the FOIA office has access to a number, but... calling 202.690.7453 "this call cannot be completed as dialed"

Nothing has changed. Putin's method always includes messing with minds, misdirection, misinformation.

@tinakotek.bsky.social, please be next with this action. Protect Oregon's autonomy by preventing other states from sending National Guard here.

Haha, fair and unsurprising George.
While assuming brainpower,
I have to admit that anyone who tells me within a few minutes of meeting them for the first time that they went to Harvard (or Yale for that matter), I'm running for the hills. Especially now that I'm single in my 60's.

Keep on learning and getting better 50501! In the meantime, we should not allow these rumors to keep us at home. And even if some are deployed to intimidate, it’s important to show up today.

That is inevitable, but for now Little Marco was sent out to deliver this message “it’s a matter of days,” because the Orange Guy doesn’t care to admit defeat. The only winning move is to recognize Russia as the aggressor and to help
Ukraine, especially in the air (as they have clearly asked).

Real people are helplessly watching as previously thriving businesses are to be annihilated by senseless tariffs. Inventory incoming by container ship about to be wildly taxed.
Small investors are terrified of losing IRA savings, but big tech firms are gifted a reprieve?
None of this is "policy."
